Recycle Those Words! (And Happy Earth Day!)

It’s an embarrassment of riches we have here, in the United States, and I’m afraid I haven’t been as good a steward of those riches as I should have. But it’s never too late to change, and I can work on reducing my ecological footprint. For one thing, I can improve on my recycling efforts.

It’s funny, because I’m very good at recycling my words. If an essay doesn’t work for the market I first submitted to, I try, try again to find a home for it. I may have to tweak the words a bit, but happily, I often find another market. I like the publication credit, of course, but I like not wasting my efforts even more.

So on this sunny Earth Day, I challenge you to recycle. Shake off the cyber dust from one of your essays, give it a spiffy shine, and submit it to a new market. And while you’re at it, get that plastic container out of the trash and into your recycling bin.

It would really take the joy out of writing if we couldn’t recycle those stories we work SO hard on! But when I rework and resubmit, my time and effort is well spent, not wasted. I needed this reminder – thanks!!!

Yeah, I learned I don’t need as much space, Suzanne. Well, duh, all the Junior Halls have moved out. But just when you think they’ve gone…they’re baaaaaack. 🙂 (Hope you’re recycling words real soon, too!)

I'm always fishing for sparkly new ideas to put in one of my children's stories. Sometimes, I fish in the shower and sometimes, I fish around the more interesting spots in Atlanta. And sometimes, I might even fish from a dock.
